I have more information, and it is a doosey.... I took the valve cover off and WTH! Three of the rocker arms are sitting on the bottom of the...
OK, that is relieving to hear. I'll still be pulling the valve cover off for a look see, but this is the first time I've heard an opinion about...
At this point, I think the general tenor here on this thread is that the noise I'm getting (see video) is not consistent with a "simple" issue...
Yep, it definitely isn't good. Although it could also be an inexpensive fix too. Frankly having a hole through the side of the block would be a...
The actuator is super easily accessed as it is on the top of the valve cover. I pulled it just to see if there was crud in there that would...
Leadfoot.... Awesome question and, unfortunately, something I didn't put into the initial info.... Because the variable cam gear works off oil...
Yeah, I'm very quickly coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to bite the bullet and check the timing chain. Ugh. That is a moderate...
Oh, it is completely different. I had the whole engine shimmy and shake routine when my head gasket went south (17K ago), so I'm *very* familiar...
Yep, that makes sense. The whole dance of the Prius is really quite fascinating from an engineering perspective. That said, right now I'm...
I am rethinking my statement about the motor actually running. Always learning, and always correcting my knowledge.... I think that 'giving it...
Yes, the engine is absolutely starting. But, it makes a tick tick tick sound, almost like the pinging of a valve hit on a car as you give it gas...
Yeah, this thread has been swirling around a problem that has gotten progressively worse. To be honest, I'm not sure if the initial problem...
well.... I'm crushed.... No dice. I didn't read the codes, but the new (cheap) sensor didn't get rid of the knocking sound, the engine still has...
I checked the grounds and I couldn't see anything amiss with them. Further, I was thinking about this and I'm not sure a bad ground would...
Medel, You know.... I have wondered about that... As noted in previous posts, I *never* had any discernible coolant reduction, no overheat...
hotel: I mentioned the tensioner but even the mechanic thought it was a long shot. I looked at the one I removed very carefully, and it was in...
I feel really foolish.... The PriusChat UI is so similar between the forums and conversations that I *thought* I was "posting" to the forum and,...
Patrick, Awesome job! Congrats on getting the car done. I did the head gasket on my 2012 last year and, well, that car kind of did the same trip...
ChapmanF: I gather you are talking about the comments about the misfire margin. That is interesting. When I get access to TIS, I'll try and get...
rj. LOL. Yeah, I talk to that guy that did the HG all the time. He knows all of my most intimate secrets and challenges... I see him every...
